HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioMar 5, 2010

Human rights application dismissed under s. 45.1 as substance was appropriately dealt with by OLRB.

The applicant filed a human rights complaint alleging unjust dismissal based on disability.

The respondents requested dismissal of the application under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, arguing the substance had already been dealt with by the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB).

The OLRB had previously determined that the applicant's failure to provide requested medical information constituted wilful misconduct disentitling him to termination and severance pay.

The Tribunal found that the OLRB proceeding dealt with the same factual issues and that the applicant had a meaningful opportunity to be heard.

The application was dismissed.

Kulasingam v. Toral Cast Integrated Technologies, 2010 HRTO 505

Applications dismissed; substance dealt with in arbitration and union representation issues outside Tribunal jurisdiction.

The applicant filed human rights applications against his former employer, a manager, his union, and union counsel, alleging discrimination based on sexual orientation and reprisal.

The respondents requested dismissal at a preliminary hearing.

The Tribunal dismissed the application against the employer and manager under s. 45.1 of the Human Rights Code, finding the substance of the allegations had been appropriately dealt with in a prior labour arbitration proceeding, despite the applicant's withdrawal from that process.

The Tribunal also dismissed the application against the union and its counsel, finding the allegations related to the union's representation and collective agreement administration, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Labour Relations Board and do not establish a prima facie violation of the Code.

Bradt v. Metro Ontario Inc., 2010 HRTO 480

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioMar 2, 2010

Human rights application dismissed after applicant failed to respond to Tribunal directions regarding bankrupt respondents.

The applicant filed a human rights application against a corporate respondent and two personal respondents.

The corporate respondent and one personal respondent filed assignments in bankruptcy, staying the proceedings against them.

The Tribunal directed the applicant to advise whether he intended to lift the stay and to provide a contact address for the remaining personal respondent.

After granting an extension, the applicant failed to respond or request an opportunity to make oral submissions.

The Tribunal deemed the applicant to have waived his right to make oral submissions and dismissed the application against all respondents.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 26, 2010

Tribunal narrows scope of Wheel-Trans discrimination complaint and denies adjournment request to seek new counsel.

The applicant, a person with a disability who uses a wheelchair, filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination and reprisal by the Toronto Transit Commission's Wheel-Trans service.

The respondent requested the dismissal of the application for failure to establish a prima facie case, non-compliance with disclosure rules, and improper expansion of the complaint's scope.

The Tribunal reviewed the specific incidents alleged and dismissed several for failing to establish a nexus to a Code ground, while allowing others to proceed to a hearing.

The Tribunal relieved against strict compliance with disclosure rules, struck systemic allegations that improperly expanded the scope of the individual complaint, and denied the applicant's request for an adjournment to retain new counsel.

Farhan Aboubaker v. Toronto Transit Commission (Wheel-Trans), 2010 HRTO 441

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 19, 2010

Preliminary motion to dismiss human rights application denied; OLRB decision on union duty did not bar claim.

The respondents requested the dismissal of a human rights application alleging disability discrimination and harassment.

They argued the matter was already dealt with by the OLRB, was untimely, and failed to disclose a prima facie case.

The Tribunal dismissed the preliminary objections, finding the OLRB only addressed the union's duty of fair representation, the complaint was filed within the one-year time limit, and the factual disputes regarding the applicant's resignation and accommodation required a full hearing.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 11, 2010

Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to add successor employer; release of corporate respondent bars claim against personal respondent.

The applicant sought to add a newly created corporation, New Bata, as a respondent to her human rights application under the common employer doctrine, following the insolvency of her former employer, Old Bata (now Athletes World Limited).

The Tribunal found that New Bata was a successor employer, not a common employer, and since the Human Rights Code lacks successor employer provisions, the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to add New Bata.

The Tribunal also dismissed the application against the personal respondent, Sonja Bata, finding that she was protected by a Release and Indemnity the applicant had signed as part of a settlement with Athletes World Limited.

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 11, 2010

Tribunal awards $9,357 in damages and restores 32 sick days for workplace human rights violations.

In a decision on remedy following a finding of human rights violations, the Tribunal assessed the applicant's claims for lost wages, overtime, sick leave, and general damages.

The Tribunal awarded $1,032.72 for lost wages and $324.72 for lost overtime, cutting off the compensation period when the applicant would no longer have been able to continue in the acting role.

The Tribunal also awarded $8,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, applying a 40% apportionment factor because the applicant's stress and anxiety were partially caused by non-Code-related workplace and marital issues.

The Tribunal ordered the restoration of 32 sick days and declined to order further public interest remedies.

Ramoutar v. Toronto Community Housing Corporation, 2010 HRTO 324

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 10, 2010

Reconsideration request denied as applicant merely sought to re-argue evidence already considered by the Tribunal.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision dismissing his human rights application.

The applicant argued that he had informed a mediator that he changed his mind about a settlement before a certain date, contrary to the mediator's notes.

The Tribunal found that the applicant was attempting to re-argue the case and take issue with the evidence already heard and reviewed.

The Tribunal concluded that the applicant did not satisfy any of the criteria for reconsideration under Rule 25.5 and denied the request.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 8, 2010

Tribunal limits scope of human rights application to original complaint and makes case management directions.

The applicant filed a human rights complaint alleging discrimination and reprisals by her union.

In an interim decision, the Tribunal addressed several preliminary issues.

The adjudicator ruled that the scope of the application was limited to the allegations raised in the original complaint and could not include post-complaint events without a formal amendment.

Two personal respondents were removed on consent after the union accepted vicarious liability, while a third remained due to specific allegations against him.

The Tribunal also made case management directions regarding the order of evidence and required the parties to provide detailed witness statements.

DeFreitas v. Ontario Public Services Employees Union, 2010 HRTO 281

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 8, 2010

Request for reconsideration of human rights application dismissal denied for failing to meet required criteria.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a previous Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision that dismissed his application alleging racial discrimination.

The applicant argued that the respondents tampered with or withheld video evidence of an incident with a security guard, and that the adjudicator failed to consider evidence regarding other employees.

The Tribunal found no evidence of tampering, noting that the video evidence was produced during the hearing.

The Tribunal also held that the applicant's arguments regarding other employees did not change the analysis or conclusions of the original decision.

The request for reconsideration was denied as it did not meet the criteria under Rule 25.5.

Sheldon Bennett v. Protrans Personnel Service Inc., 2010 HRTO 280

Daniel McDonald

35 cases2009–2024

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioFeb 5, 2010

Human rights application dismissed; workplace verbal abuse was not based on sex and reprisal claim failed.

The applicant, a dispatcher, alleged sex discrimination and reprisal after a workplace incident where a consultant yelled and swore at her over a delivery mistake.

The Tribunal found that while the consultant's conduct was inappropriate, the evidence did not support the allegation that he called her a gender-based slur or that the conduct was based on sex.

The reprisal claim was also dismissed because the applicant's internal complaints prior to her termination did not allege sex discrimination or invoke the Human Rights Code.

The application was dismissed.

The Tribunal granted a temporary stay to allow the respondents to file a request for reconsideration, with the stay to be extended if the request is filed.

Tribunal requested further submissions on whether the Special Education Tribunal has exclusive jurisdiction over special needs accommodations.

In an interim decision regarding a human rights complaint against a school board, the Tribunal requested further submissions from the parties on the issue of whether the Special Education Tribunal (SET) has exclusive jurisdiction over matters relating to the identification, placement, and accommodation of students with special needs.

The adjudicator noted a recent SET decision suggesting it lacks jurisdiction over programming details when the placement itself is not in dispute, and directed the parties to provide written submissions on the implications of this decision before ruling on the preliminary jurisdictional issue.

Sigrist and Carson v. London District Catholic School Board, 2010 HRTO 202

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 25, 2010

Reconsideration request denied as applicant provided no new evidence and attempted to re-argue the case.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a previous Tribunal decision that dismissed his application for lack of jurisdiction.

The applicant argued that the ground of family status should be considered and requested to amend his complaint to name his son as the applicant.

The Tribunal denied the request, finding that the applicant provided no new facts or evidence, but merely attempted to re-argue his case.

The Tribunal also noted that the applicant's son was not the original complainant and could not file a transitional application.

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 11, 2010

Hearing adjourned due to extraordinary circumstances following a fire at the respondents' business premises.

Jean Nugent v. Francis H.V.A.C. Services Ltd. and Andre Gauthier, 2010 HRTO 35

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 7, 2010

Human rights application dismissed due to applicant's repeated failure to correct filing defects.

The applicant filed an incomplete transitional application under section 53(5) of the Human Rights Code.

The Tribunal notified the applicant multiple times of the defects, which included failing to identify the respondents, failing to attach the complete complaint form, and failing to provide a proper Statement of Delivery.

Despite being given multiple opportunities and extensions to correct the defects, the applicant failed to do so.

The applicant also waived her right to make oral submissions.

Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed the application.

Winsome Higgins v. Community Living Mississauga and Janet Lorimer, 2010 HRTO 30

Mark Hart

HRTO0 cases2007–2017

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioJan 7, 2010

Tribunal waived applicant's non-compliance with filing rules and denied respondent's request to dismiss application.

The applicant filed an incomplete transitional application under s. 53(5) of the Human Rights Code.

After several notices from the Tribunal, the applicant eventually provided the missing information, but the respondent requested the application be dismissed because the applicant failed to attach his human rights complaint to the form served on the respondent.

The Tribunal waived the non-compliance under its Rules, noting that the substance of the completed application was now on file and in the hands of the respondent, and denied the respondent's request to dismiss.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 30, 2009

Employer ordered to pay $3,000 for asking about family plans and creating unwelcoming environment for pregnant employee.

The applicant alleged discrimination in employment on the basis of pregnancy.

The Tribunal found that the store manager violated the Human Rights Code by asking the applicant during her job interview if she planned to have a family, and by creating an unwelcoming work environment after learning of her pregnancy.

The Tribunal dismissed the applicant's claim for lost income, finding she voluntarily chose not to return to work after her maternity leave.

The corporate respondent and the store manager were ordered to pay $3,000 for injury to dignity and self-respect.

The application against the co-president was dismissed.

HRTOHuman Rights Tribunal of OntarioDec 30, 2009

Human rights application dismissed; student failed to link disability to missed academic withdrawal deadlines.

The applicant, a university student with a disability, alleged discrimination in services when the university denied her petition to retroactively drop a course without academic penalty.

The applicant failed to attend the scheduled Case Resolution Conference but submitted written materials, which the Tribunal accepted as a request to determine the application in writing.

The Tribunal found that while the applicant had a documented disability, she failed to provide medical evidence establishing a connection between her disability and her inability to withdraw from the course by the deadline or to file her petition within the required one-year period.

The application was dismissed.

Accordingly, the Tribunal ordered the application stayed and suspended until the expiration of the CCAA stay period, subject to any motion the applicant might bring to lift the stay.
